Stretching
Training
Matthew Barber Asked 10 years ago
Hello Pingskills,
I love your website and am improving because of your videos. I have one question. When I am warming up, how should I stretch (before training)?
Thank you!

Hi Matthew,
It is best to do dynamic stretches before training. Dynamic means moving stretches, rather than static stretches where you stretch and hold a position for a few seconds.
An example of a dynamic stretch is to rotate your arms around in big circles.

Topspin Against Backspin
Lesson 7 focuses on the forehand and backhand topspin against backspin strokes. This is an important stroke in your development as it lets you turn defence into attack.

two questions:
for static stretching-is it just less effective or bad in some way?
and-how to dynamically stratch legs?
Thanks
Static stretches are not bad, just for warming up before play dynamic stretches are more effective.
It is good to do static stretches at the end of the training session.
To dynamically stretch the legs you can stand and do some kicks or swimming of your legs.
